'To all whom tt may concern: Be it known that I, GEORGE S. lVALKnn, a citizen of the United States," residing at Lamont, in the county of Cook and State of 5 Illinois, have invented certain new and use- 1 ful Improvements in Food-Steaming Trays; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the in- .vention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. Y My invention relates to new and useful improvements in bail attachments for food 5 steaming trays and particularly to that class adapted to be used for steaming vegetables, 'f or. the like, and .my object is to provide A means for attaching the bail to the tray in "such manner as to prevent the tray from tilting accidentally and a further object is to provide means whereby the bail may be released and permitted to swing. Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this application, Figure l is a detail perspective view showing the bail in its tilted position. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the bail in its fixed relation with the" tray. Fig. 3 is a sectional view as seen on line 3'-3, Fig. 2. I Referring to the drawings in which simi- -1 z lar reference numerals designate corresponding partsqthroughont the several views, 1

-"indicates the body of the tray and 2 indi- "ca tes the' bead such asis usually formed at "the-upper edge bf vessels of this class, said head being formed by rolling the free edge jQf the wall of theyessel.

of the tray while the tray is being carried from place to place, but if-it is desired\-to tilt the tray on the hail, the bail is lowered in the slots 5 until the terminal of the hook is disengaged from the opening 6, when the bail may be swung to either side as desired.

What I claim is:

1. The combination with a tray having slots therein, a head at the upper edge of the tray, said heads having openings; of a bail having hooks adapted to extend through said slots, the terminals of said hooks being adapted to enter the openings in the bead and hold the bail in a fixed position.

- 2. The combination with a tray; of a bail pivotally attached to the wall of the tray, a bead around the upper edge of the tray, said bead having seats therein adapted to en parts (if the bail and hold the same in a i ixed position.

In testimony whereoi I have signed my name to this specification in the prcsenccnt two subscribing witnesses.
